Stumbling across the changes that the U.S. FTC recently made to the Can-Spam Act, Ed Foster wondered if perhaps the FTC instituted some fixes that will help. “Well, no, I’m afraid not,” Foster explains in FTC says yes, you can still spam.The FTC issued four new rules, based on feedback, but Foster believes that only one could positively effect the current, and miserable, state of spam. It’s a clarification that email recipients cannot be required to pay a fee or surrender information other than email, to opt out. One of the rules, in fact, takes the worst aspect of Can-Spam and makes it even uglier. “That Congress failed with the Can-Spam Act of 2003 is certainly not news, so why pay any attention to how the FTC is still struggling to fix it even now? Only because Congress is once again flirting with a very similar approach to a very similar problem, about which I expect some real news in the very near future. So stay tuned.” Security
